STRATEGIC REPORT Results The profit for the year after taxation was $962,892,000 which, when added to the retained profit brought forward at 1 January 2019 of $12,054,741,000 and after deducting total paid interim dividends to ordinary shareholders of $521,000,000 gives a total retained profit carried forward at 31 December 2019 of $12,496,633,000.

The principal decisions taken by the directors during the year included the acquisition of investments in Fatima Power Holding LLC ("FPH") and Aparecida I Power Holding LLC ("Aparecida") in May 2019 and subsequent creation of partnerships with Natural Energia Participacoes Ltda (“Natural Energia”), which formerly owned the entire issued equity of FPH and Aparecida. Natural Energia is a company incorporated in Brazil focussed on early stage development of gas, wind and solar projects. The aims of Natural Energia align with the BP strategy to capture long-term value through the securing of sustainable gas and power demand within growing markets. The relevant factors taken into account during the decision making process, in furtherance of the company's purpose, were the advantages of BP investing in renewable energy. Such advantages include sustainable environmental impacts, smaller carbon footprint and an overall positive impact on the natural environment. Consideration was also given to consumers' demand. As of 2018, renewable energy accounted for 79% of the domestically produced electricity used in Brazil. Principal risks and uncertainties The company aims to deliver sustainable value by identifying and responding successfully to risks. Risk management is integrated into the process of planning and performance management for the BP group. The risks listed below, separately or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on the implementation of the company’s strategy, business, financial performance, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, prospects, shareholder value and returns and reputation. Unless stated otherwise, further details on these risks are included within the risk factors in the strategic report of the BP group Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2019. Strategic and commercial risks Geopolitical The company is exposed to a range of political developments and consequent changes to the operating and regulatory environment may disrupt or curtail the company's operations or development activities. These may in turn cause production to decline, limit the company's ability to pursue new opportunities, affect the recoverability of our assets or cause us to incur additional costs. Political developments may include international sanctions, expropriation or nationalization of property, civil strife, strikes, insurrections, acts of terrorism or war and public health situations (including an outbreak of an epidemic or pandemic). The impact of the UK's exit from the EU BP have been assessing the potential impact on the group of Brexit and the UK’s future global relationships. BP have been considering different outcomes but do not believe any of these outcomes pose a significant risk to the business. The BP board’s geopolitical committee continues to monitor these developments. Joint arrangements and contractors The company may have varying levels of control over the standards, operations and compliance of its partners, contractors and sub-contractors which could result in legal liability and reputational damage. Digital infrastructure and cybersecurity Breach or failure of the company’s or third parties’ digital infrastructure or cyber security, including loss or misuse of sensitive information could damage its operations and reputation or increase costs. Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy Policy, legal, regulatory, technology and market developments related to the issue of climate change could increase costs, reduce demand for our products, reduce revenue and limit certain growth opportunities. Insurance The BP group’s insurance strategy could expose the BP group to material uninsured losses which in turn could adversely affect the company. 2 DT DocuSign Envelope ID: A7DC07EA-15CF-4D34-9BCC-D8D4A9D5D730 STRATEGIC REPORT Compliance and control risks Ethical misconduct and non-compliance Ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by the company’s businesses or its employees could be damaging to its reputation, and could result in litigation, regulatory action and penalties. Regulation Changes in the regulatory and legislative environment could increase the cost of compliance. Reporting Failure to accurately report the company’s data could lead to regulatory action, legal liability and reputational damage. Financial risk management The company is exposed to a number of different financial risks arising from natural business exposures including market risks relating to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Further details on these financial risks are included within Note 29 of the BP group Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2019.

D J Bucknall, J A Hodgson, J C Lyons, M J O'Sullivan and K A Thomson served as directors throughout the financial year. Changes since 1 January 2019 are as follows: Appointed Resigned B Gilvary — 08/07/2019 Directors' indemnity The company indemnifies the directors in its Articles of Association to the extent allowed under section 232 of the Companies Act 2006. Such qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of the company’s directors remain in force at the date of this report. Dividends During the year the company has declared and paid dividends of $521,000,000 (2018 $2,865,000,000). The directors do not propose the payment of a final dividend. Financial instruments In accordance with section 414C of the Companies Act 2006 the directors have included information regarding financial instruments as required by Schedule 7 (Part 1.6) of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 in the strategic report under Financial risk management. Post balance sheet events Since 31 December 2019, oil and gas prices have fallen sharply in large part due to the impact of the international spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and geopolitical factors. The impact of COVID-19 and the current economic environment on the basis of preparation of these financial statements has been considered. The directors continue to consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Further details are provided under Going Concern below. This is a non-adjusting event for the financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2019. On 12 June 2020 the company, together with Kenilworth Oil Company Limited, established a subsidiary registered in India named BP Business Solutions India Private Limited which will assume, from a new centre in Pune India, operational ownership of end-to-end process transformation and digital solutions. The company subscribed to 9,999 ordinary shares of INR 10 each for a consideration of INR99,990. On 13 August 2020 there was a further capital injection of $10m in order to meet the funding requirement of the new centre. On 15 June 2020 BP issued a press release detailing revised investment appraisal long-term oil and gas price assumptions used in tangible assets impairment testing. The revised long-term price assumptions used to determine recoverable amount based on value-in-use impairment tests are an average of $55/bbl for Brent and $2.90 per MMBtu for Henry Hub for the period of 2021-2050 (in 2020 prices).

    Transalpine Pass Routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the Strategic Use of Topographic Resources

    Preistoria Alpina, 42 (2007): 109-118 ISSN 09-0157 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources Philippe DELLA CASA Department of Pre-/Protohistory, University of Zurich, Karl-Schmid-Str. ���������������������������4, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources - Using examples from the San Bernardino and the St. Gotthard passes in the Swiss Central Alps, this paper discusses how the existence of transalpine high altitude pass routes can be inferred, even though there is a lack physical evidence, from specific Bronze and Iron Age settlement patterns in access valleys. Particular attention is given to the effect of topography within the territorial and economic organizational area on transalpine tracks and traffic routes. A set of recurring patterns, such as strategic position, natural and/or artificial protection, presence of “foreign” materials, can help identifying (settlement) sites with particular functions as regards traffic and trade within the systems of territorial organization. Moreover, the paper also addresses socio-dynamic issues of the problem of transalpine pass routes. RIASSUNTO - Passi transalpini nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere e uso strategico di risorse topografiche -Usando esempi dal Passo di San Bernardino e dal Passo del San Gottardo nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere, il presente contributo discute come l’esistenza di vie di transito transalpine d’alta quota possa essere dedotta, anche mancando evidenze fisiche, da specifici modelli insediativi dell’età del Bronzo e del Ferro presenti nelle valli di accesso.

Introduction The history of the project of the New Railway Line Turin-Lyon, shortened as NLTL and currently known as high-speed train Turin- Lyon (named TAV Turin-Lyon), saw a lot of stakeholders that interacted, exchanged, conflicted and overlapped. The first part of this paper aims at understanding the evolution/origin of the project in order to clarify the role of the Italian and French stakeholders involved. Then, the paper continues with the description of the main steps of the history of TAV project. In these steps will be underlined the moments in which some stakeholders have been involved in incidents of lawlessness and corruption. 2. The origin of the project and stakeholders involved 2.1 The Italian stakeholders The project for the TAV Turin-Lyon involved many Italian stakeholders, institutional and not. First of all in 1989 the Associazione Tecnocity2 presented in a public meeting at the Fondazione Agnelli the project of a high-speed railway line for passengers between France and Italy. The project foresees the construction of a transalpine tunnel 50 km long as a part of the future railway line between East and West Europe (Number Five Corridor3).

It is a place that links north and south and crosses frontiers; a symbol of modernity, technical progress and engineering brilliance. Yet here too we see the limits of progress: huge traffic jams and the changes wrought by human beings on the Alpine environment. The mountain range that is the Gotthard massif is a place of ambivalence, where nature and technology, ecology and economics, openness and the fortress mentality, past and future meet. Architekturen The Sasso San Gottardo themed exhibition opens its doors at the summit of the Gott- hard Pass in summer 2012. Amid the striking and atmospheric setting of tunnels and caverns within the mountain, it allows visitors to experience the challenges of hand- ling our resources in five imaginatively designed, themed rooms devoted to “Water”, “Climate”, “Mobility and Living Space”, “Energy” and „Security”. The content of the exhi- bition has been developed with the help of business partners and the scientific com- munity, and is geared to the findings of current research. It starts by examining issues of historical and local relevance, then moves on to ask questions about the future.
